Do anyone know something about this? Have you ever noticed that some Coca-Cola bottles have yellow caps this time of year? It’s not just a random change in design — there is an important reason why you see these yellow caps on certain bottles of Coca-Cola in the spring.
These special bottles with the yellow tops actually contain Coca-Cola that is kosher for Passover. Passover is a Jewish holiday that begins in March or April, depending on the lunar calendar. Also known as “Pesach,” this week-long celebration is a time for Jewish people to reflect on the story of Moses leading their people from slavery in Egypt.
During Passover, many observant Jews abstain from leavened foods in recognition of the Jewish people who fled the pharaoh and didn’t have time to wait for the bread to rise, or leaven. So, during the week of Passover, foods that are made with wheat, oats, spelt, barley and rye are to be avoided. For some Jewish families, even the crumbs of leavened foods must be swept up and completely removed from the pantry and cabinets.
In addition, many Ashkenazi Jews do not eat corn or corn by-products during Passover. For thousands of years, it was prohibited for Jews to eat corn, rice, legumes and seeds during this time. Although the Committee on Jewish Law and Standards voted in recent years to permit people to eat kitniyot during Pesach (“kitniyot” directly translates to legumes, but has a broader meaning of corn, rice and seeds during Passover), some Ashkenazi Jews still prefer not to eat any kitniyot during this time, meaning that corn and corn byproducts, such as high-fructose corn syrup, are off the table.
